Gary Johnson playing spoiler in Florida 

He has 13% of the votes in Florida.

Impressive penetration by Johnson.  Hopefully he can keep it up.

Georgia being too close for an early call is...not what we'd associate with a winning GOP campaign.

Thanks, squishy!

How important is Florida? (Polls in the eastern part of the state close in a few minutes.) If Clinton wins it, her probability of winning the Electoral College would shoot up to 93 percent from 71 percent, according to our election night model. And if Trump were to win it, his chances would increase to 59 percent from 29 percent.

Stop it, Nate.  If she wins Florida the probability she wins is 100%.

Watching both CNN and Fox.  They're both more balanced than I'd have thought.

Learning a lot already, there is a "West" Virginia apparently. 

 

[Captain Cranks]

This is exciting as hell!  

God, this better break for Clinton.  I haven't prepared myself mentally for a Trump win.

Johnson Wins!!!

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Every county with a good size city like Miami Orlando Jax...all HRC and every slightly more rural area is going Trump

When I see first hand the terrible poverty in these areas and these folks are not enjoying a better life...I just don't understand.

I'm totally going in 2017.

 

[cosjobs]

No.  Not even close.  I was on my best behavior at the event.  And, honestly, Republican events are always a bit strained. Even if they have some decent talent.  Dem events are a lot more fun overall.  And by a lot, I mean they suck - which tells you the pain of attending a Republican gala. 

Now, I did probably take a batty about 15 seconds after I left... 

I think he meant cigars, but thanks for the personal info

See, that's an area where it really needs to be either 100% or 0%.

King sure does love playing with that map.

Cavs and Hawks in a close one late first quarter.

Neither has the rest of the world.

One second Trump is down 40,000 in Florida then he is up 20,000 then back down...oof

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Vodka has been unleashed. This should be fun.

 

[Peyton Marino]

yo what channel are the news channels?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Hanging Chads is going to look like child's play if this keeps up. 

 

[Peyton Marino]

just popped a bell's christmas ale let's roll

 

[hagmania]

@benchmarkpol folks - that's the one to follow tonight. He'll call it early and accurately.

 

[Willie Neslon]

Missing John Chancellor tonight.  Poured a Makers in his honor.

The DirecTV Election Mix channel is awesome. Feels like the Masters...but better?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Tood Young (R) appears to have won Indiana over Bayh.

 

[cstu]

Good point on TYT - when the news channels report "3% of votes are in" that's only today's votes.  The total votes include early voting so the real percent reported is much higher.

 

[bud29]

Alright, take a shot every time you hear "run it up" on CNN.

 

[Politician Spock]

One second Trump is down 40,000 in Florida then he is up 20,000 then back down...oof

It's like watching an Big 12 football game.

Tood Young (R) appears to have won Indiana over Bayh.

To be expected, Bayh is an idiot.  Heard when he came about to Indiana to show he was living there, instead of staying in a condo he owned he stayed in a hotel which he charged to taxpayers.  SMH.

You won't believe what conference they're in.

Same thing happened to Mary Landrieu in LA.

I had that on but couldn't switch between stations.  So now just back and forth.

CNN Projection: Trump wins another state you’d hate to be gay in.

[FreeBaGeL]

In Florida CNN is really focusing on comparing the county level results to the 2012 election.  Every time CNN zooms in on a specific county in Florida Hillary is outperforming Obama from 2012.  The places Trump is leading he's leading by slightly less than Mitt 2012, and the places where he's trailing he is trailing by slightly more than Mitt.

 

[chet]

Give me HRC in the WH and a Republican Senate and I will be very happy.

Rubio's already won.

But hey, so tired of the winning.

CAN I GET A STUPID GUY'S GUIDE TO WATCHING THIS GO DOWN TONIGHT

Which are the states that could go either way?  I get Florida.  I mean, I don't get Florida.  I doubt anyone does.
